(waltzing orchestral
theme music)

(children caroling)

- Daisy, you're about as
dainty as an elephant!

Go quietly, or you'll
disturb Mr. Bellamy.

- Sorry Rose.

- Is everything ready
upstairs, Rose?

- Yes, Mr. Hudson.

- And the room is well-warmed?

You know how much Her
Ladyship dislikes the cold.

- Yes, Mr. Hudson.

- You'll put a hot
water bottle in her bed?

- Yes, Mr. Hudson.

- And hurry, she'll be
tired after a long journey,

and may wish to retire at once.

You must have everything
prepared, you know, Rose.

- Yes, Mr. Hudson.

- Well, look sharp my girl,
what a wee thing needs.

I'll see to the fire in
the morning room myself.

- Thank you, Mr. Hudson.

Well come on!

- Oh.

- Is everything prepared, Rose?

Yes, Mr. Hudson.

Well look sharp my girl!

- Honestly, all this
fuss, anyone would think

they are Queen Victoria
arriving!

- Now Edward, just you
don't be impertinent.

Old Lady Southwold's
very particular,

and she likes her comforts and
she's used to good service,

so you just keep on
your toes, my boy.

- It's a long time since
Lady Southwold

has been here, Edward.

We don't want her to think
we've got slovenly since,

well, since she was
here last time.

Put that outside and then get
ready, they'll be here soon.

- She bringing old Hodges
with her, Rose?

- No, Edward, Miss Hodges
is not coming.

I am going to see to
Lady Southwold myself.

- Oh, one more thing, Rose.

Have you put the extra pillow
in Her Ladyship's room,

and the spare blanket?

- I've remembered every
blessed thing, Mr. Hudson.

- Good, good.

Now listen to me, all of you.

We shall be on trial
for the next few days.

(thumping)

The dowager Countess
has very high standards

which each and every one of
us must try to live up to.

And you'll do well to
remember that, Daisy,

if you wish to remain
in service here.

- Now you know.

- What's Lady Southwold
like, is she very fierce?

- Oh she's terrible,
she's dreadful.

She has these terrible
fits of rage, you see,

and once when her
bath water wasn't

as hot as she wanted
it, she went for

one of the maids with
a red hot poker!

- No!

-[Edward] Maimed her for life!

- Daisy, you heard Mr.
Hudson, wash your hands!

THey're filthy!

- She got a red beard, see?

A little red beard, and
one eye is larger

than the other one, and
they're both bloodshot,

and I have heard tell
that she's a witch!

(gasping)

(bell ringing)

- That's it, that will
be Her Ladyship!

Come along upstairs,
all of us, quickly!

Edward, you help the
chauffer with the luggage.

Oh Mrs. Bridges, is that
hot posset ready yet?

- Yes, yes, Mr. Hudson.

- Then keep it hot, I'll
be down for it in a minute.

Come along, quickly now!

- Daisy, buck up! We're supposed
to be in the hall by now!

And you don't have to
bring that towel!

-[Mr. Bellamy] Mable, my dear.

-[Lady Southwold] Richard.

-[Mr. Bellamy] Must be
frozen to the marrow.

-[Lady Southwold] Nonsense,
don't fuss, gentlemen.

I was well wrapped up
and plentifully supplied

with brandy by Marston.

In fact, I feel quite merry!

Oh good afternoon, Hudson.

- Good afternoon, milady.

- Oh Hudson, in the
back of the motor,

there's a hamper of
Christmas fare,

packed by Mr. Combes,
perhaps you would

be good enough to
take charge of it?

- Very good, milady.

- Wonderful to see you
looking so well.

- Oh, I'm delighted to be here!

-[Mr. Bellamy] James
and Hazel had to leave

for Paris yesterday, they
were sorry to miss you.

It's going to be a very
quiet Christmas, I'm afraid.

- That will suit me very well.

- He told me she had
beard and bloodshot eyes,

and he said she was a witch!

- That'll teach you
to never believe

a word Edward says, never ever!

- There we are then,
here's Christmas eats,

all the way from Wilshire.

- Is that the lot?

- Yeah.

- Oh, where's the tree?

- What tree?

- Christmas tree, they
always send one

from Southwold, every year!

Where is it?

- Where is what, Rose?

- The tree, Mr. Hudson.

- Oh use your brains, my girl,

they could hardly fit
a nine foot high

Christmas tree into the back

of a motorcar, now could they?

- Oh no.

- So Mr. Combes has dispatched
it from Salisbury by train.

It is, at this moment,
at the station

awaiting collection, and will be

delivered to this house the
day after tomorrow by cart.

So there's nothing to
worry about now, is there?

- No, Mr. Hudson.

- Ow!

- That's holly!

Haven't you ever seen
holly before, silly girl?

- Edward, there's a food
hamper to be unpacked.

- Mrs. Bridges, don't
you want to see

what Father Christmas
has brought for you?

- What's that?

- We are about to unpack
your hamper, Mrs. Bridges,

if you can spare a wee minute.

- Oh yes, yes Mr. Hudson!
Just coming!

- Makes my mouth water.

- Let's see what Mr.
Combes has been

able to find us this year, eh?

Oh, brace of pheasants,
very handy!

- Look Mrs. Bridges,
hares for jugging!

- Oh yes yes, and woodcock,
very nice too.

Oh, now that is a
surprise, venison!

Oooh, lovely!

Now that looks like our turkey.

(oohing and ahhing)

- Beautiful bird, and
there's my Christmas goose!

Don't stand there gawking, girl,

get on with the washing up!

- Yes, Mrs. Hudson.

Now when you put them
back, take them

through to the larder.

- Yes I will, Mrs. Bridges,
come on Daisy.

- Thank you, Rose.

Edward, give me a hand with
this greenery, quickly now.

- Who's Mr. Combes, Rose?

- Estate agent at
Southwold, family estate.

Lady Marjorie's father,
Captain James' grandfather,

he was Lord Southwold, Lady
Marjorie was born there.

I was born there too,
in the West Lodge.

Mr. Hudson, Mrs. Bridges and I

we all come up from
Southwold when Lady Marjorie

married Mr. Bellamy, see?

- And all this food, is
it just for one house?

- Of course it is, silly!

It's not much, you
should've seen Southwold

in the old days, that was sight.

Of course, it's a much
larger staff in Southwold.

But we have celebrated Christmas

on a far more lavish scale
in this household, Daisy,

than we shall do this year.

I can remember when
Miss Elizabeth

and Captain James was children.

Oh, we thought nothing of
entertaining 40 to luncheon.

We needed more than
a brace of pheasant

and the odd woodcock then.

Be a quiet Christmas, this year.

- I do find the thought of
having an 18 year-old girl

here for Christmas
somewhat alarming.

- Oh, there's no need,
Georgina's a very easy child.

Extraordinarily young
for her age in some ways,

but I'm sure you'll take to her.

I'm only afraid she'll
find it dull here.

When does she arrive?

- Tomorrow afternoon,
from Geneva.

- Mr. Bellamy apologizes
for his absence,

he was called out, but
hopes to be home shortly.

Her Ladyship is in her room.

- Oh, I see.

- She will see you at tea time.

I have had your trunk sent
up to your room, Miss.

The maid will be up
shortly to unpack.

Will there be anything further?

- Oh no thank you.

- Well should you require
anything, the bell is here.

I will send the maid up to you.

- Thank you.

(caroling outside)

(knocking on door)

Come in.

- Mr. Hudson, the
butler, sent me

up to unpack for you, Miss.

- Oh, uh, come in.

- Thank you, Miss.

- What's your name?

- Daisy, Miss.

- Daisy what?

- Daisy Peel, Miss.

- Mine's Georgina Worsley.

- Yes, Miss.

- How old are you, Daisy?

- 18, Miss.

- Oh are you? Well
so am I, just.

When's your birthday?

- May the 11th, Miss.

- Mine's in November, the 28th,

so you're older than me.

- Oh, yes Miss.

- You don't look it.

Shall I help you?

Where does everything go?

- Oh no, Miss, I'm to do it.

Mr. Hudson sent me up
to unpack for you,

and well, said I wasn't
to disturb you,

only if Rose or anyone come in.

- Would you get into trouble?

- I think so, Miss.

- Well they wouldn't
mind if I just

sat and talked to
you, would they?

- Oh no, Miss.

- Who's Rose?

- Well she's the head
house parlor maid,

and I'm the under house
parlor maid, I'm new.

-[Georgina] Are you?

- I only come last week.

- I only came today,
so I'm newer than you.

Do you like it here?

- Oh yeah, takes a bit
of getting used to.

- You know, Daisy, I may
be coming to live here,

in the summer when
I finish school,

to do the Season.

- Can't you live with
your mum and dad?

- They're dead, my
father was killed

in a hunting accident
when I was six,

and my mother went down
in the Titanic.

- Like Lady Marjorie.

- Yes, well my mother married

Lady Marjorie's brother,
Uncle Hugo.

I liked Uncle Hugo, he
was very nice to me.

They were all going to
America, well Canada really,

and they all got drowned.

- Well that's very sad.

- Yes, it is rather.

So you see, I haven't
got many relations.

Mr. Bellamy suggested I
came here for Christmas,

and if it suits him I can
come back in the summer.

- Well that's good.

- Yes, I suppose it is.

I suppose it is.

Where do you live, Daisy?

- Here, Miss.

- No, I mean where's you home?

Where do your parents live?

- Hoxton, Miss.

- And where's that?

- In London, Miss, East End,
it's a long way from here.

- Is it nice?

- Where shall I put this?

- Oh, let me have him,
this is Mr. Gladstone.

I've had him since I was seven,
he goes everywhere with me.

Let's put him on the bed.

Will you be looking after
me all the time, Daisy?

- Oh no, Miss Rose'll
be looking after you.

I'm only doing this
because she had

to go and fetch something
for Lady Southwold.

- What a pity.

- Oh Rose is very nice,
I'm sure you'll like her.

- It'd be much nicer
to have you.

(caroling outside)

Oh, I hate unpacking,
I always hope

a present might have
slipped itself

in when I wasn't looking,
but it never has, oh well.

Where's your room, Daisy?

- Upstairs, at the top, Miss.

I share with Rose.

- Oh do you?

I share at the convent, with
a girl called Ann Marie.

She talks in her sleep.

Does Rose talk in her sleep?

- Oh no, Rose is very quiet.

But she does snore a little bit.

(giggling)

- You should hold her nose!

- Oh no, she might wake up.

- Oh that would be funny,
if she woke up

and found you holding her nose!

(giggling)

- Tea is being served in
the morning room, Miss.

- Oh yes, in the morning room.

- If you'd like to follow me,
I'll show you where it is.

- Thank you.

(clock chiming)

- In here, Miss, if you please.

- Come in, child,
greet your uncle!

(orchestral music)

(thumping)

-[Mr. Bellamy] Yes, Hudson?

- Excuse me sir, I just thought

I should inform you that the
Christmas tree has arrived,

and the staff are about
to put it up in the hall,

in case you should
wonder at the commotion.

- Yes, thank you Hudson.

- Also, might I remind you sir,

that this afternoon
we were intending

to put up the Christmas
decorations,

if that would not
be inconvenient.

- Oh yes, I had forgotten,
well it won't

disturb me, I'm going
out in a moment.

What about you, Mabel?

- Oh, I'm going up to my room.

(yawning)

It's time for my rest.

- And you, Georgina?

Have you any plans
for this afternoon?

- Oh no, I mean, I'm
not doing anything.

- Would you like to
help the servants

with the Christmas decorations?

- Oh yes, please!

- Well there you are, Hudson,

there's another helper for you.

(servants laughing and talking)

-[Edward] Honestly
if you brought

it in through the front door

-[Rose] Just lift
up at your end!

(shushing)

- Rose is quite right,
Edward, if you lift it

up at your end, give
it a wee bit

of purchase it'll come
'round perfectly easily.

- Mind that light, Edward!

- Come on, Rose, easy!

(clamoring and chattering)

- There now, what
did I tell you?

- Right, you go and
get the tub, Edward.

- Right.

- Miss Worsley is kindly
going to assist

you all with the decoration
of the tree.

- Please, I'm Georgina.

- Miss Georgina.

- Thank you.

- Well look sharp then, Edward.

Don't put things on
the polished table!

I'll be downstairs
with Mrs. Bridges,

discussing the arrangements
for tomorrow

if anyone wants me.

There's a chair here,
Miss Georgina,

if you care to sit
and watch while

they're putting up the tree.

- Yes, I will.

- Now remember, all
of you, don't make

too much noise about it.

Better wait for a wee bit, Miss,

till the tree is firmly
fixed before

trying to put anything on it.

- Of course.

- Well come on, hurry
up, hurry up!

You haven't got all day!

And Rose, all of you, be careful

with that tree, I don't
want anything broken!

- Yes, Mr. Hudson.

- Um, well, come on,
let's get started.

Um, go and get the nose, Edward,

you get up the other
end, Daisy, come on.

- Yeah.

-[Rose] Right, lift!

- It's heavy!

- Course it's heavy, ow!

(laughing)

Oh, it's not funny them
branches are prickly!

Oh, no wonder they're
called needles!

(laughing)

Well come on!

- I don't think that
tree likes you, Rose.

- You be quiet, Ed, it might
be your turn next time.

Come on, Daisy.

Lift!

Here we go, push it towards me!

It's alright, I've got it!

- Rose where are you going?

Let me take it, Rose!

- Careful, careful!
- It's going!

- You're going to drop it!

- Oh really, this is stupid!

What did you let it go for?

- It's too high for me, Rose.

- We'll get it over
there somehow.

- Can I make a suggestion?

Well, if you put the
tub over there,

and I go up the stairs
and lean over,

I can catch it when it's
out of Daisy's reach,

and then I can help
you to hold it.

- Yes, alright Miss,
that's a good idea.

That is, if you don't
mind, helping I mean.

- Of course I don't
mind, I'd like to.

- Uh, come on Edward,
pull the tub over here,

and you get up there, Daisy.

Here we go.

There, you ready Daisy?

- Yeah.

- Right.

- Push Daisy!
- Push Daisy!

- Push it, good, right!

Have you got it, Miss?

- Yes, thank you, Rose.

-[Rose] Right now, into the tub.

One, two, three!

(cheering)

- Get this tree out of my
way, Rose, I can't move!

- You be quiet and
start fixing it in.

(laughing)

-[Edward] Oh, women!
Oh honestly, Rose.

- Give me that ornament.

- Be careful of the
needles, Miss Georgina.

-[Georgina] I can
manage, thank you Edward.

- Watch she doesn't break
her neck, eh Hudson?

- Certainly, sir.

(clapping)

-[Mrs. Bridges] Oh
it's beautiful.

(servants chattering)

- Well done, well done.

It looks very bonny,
Miss Georgina.

Come on, downstairs,
all of you quickly!

(groaning)

- Doesn't it look lovely?

- Beautiful!

- Bring some holly up, and
we'll do my bedroom next!

- Alright then.

("Silent Night" playing)

- Look how dark it is already.

Oh, I do love Christmas so.

It's funny to think
that out there,

all over London, people are
doing the same thing tonight.

Wrapping up presents,
decorating their homes.

Your family, this family,
every family in the world.

Well, the Christian
world, I suppose.

You're awfully quiet, Daisy.

- Must draw the curtains,
Miss Georgina.

- What is it, are you sad?

Homesick?

- I haven't been home for
three years, Miss Georgina,

before I started
at my last place.

- Three years?

- Well, there was seven
of us, you see,

and not enough to eat, not
with my dad unemployed.

He used to worry about
Mum and us kids

ever so bad when he was there.

That's why I don't go home now,

I'd just be another
mouth to feed, you see?

At Christmastime, I do think
of them, not that we had much.

We used to go out singing
carols in the streets,

get a cup of hot cocoa
and a penny, sometimes.

At least Mum and Dad would
cheer up a bit Christmas Day.

Neighbor might let him
have off a bottle of gin

and they'd sing a
bit, laugh a bit,

and stop fighting
and bashing us.

It was better, Christmastime.

- Don't you think you ought
to give them a nice surprise,

and go home this Christmas?

I could ask Mr. Bellamy
to give you time off.

- I've got the afternoon
off, thanks, we all have.

Better not go.

- Oh Daisy, Daisy
don't cry, please!

- Her Ladyship is waiting in

the morning room, Miss Georgina.

Daisy!

- Excuse me, Miss Georgina.

- Oh Ruby, do take care!

Now look out!

- Ruby, bring over the
paste and fix this.

- Oh, that looks nice,
yeah, very nice.

Working hard, then, good girls?

- Yeah, why don't you
give us a hand, lazy?

- I can't, I've got to stand by.

Mr. Hudson's gone
out for a walk,

and I've got to clear
away the morning room tea.

Daisy.

Sorry.

Here Rose, how about a
nice Christmas kiss, eh?

- Nice, what would
be nice about that?

- Oh come on, Mrs.
Bridges, only once a year!

- Oh go on, get out of here.

- What's the matter with
everybody, it is Christmas!

Ruby!

- Oh, Edward!

- Happy Christmas.

- House looks very
nice and seasonal,

you've done well, Georgina,
hasn't she?

- Yes, indeed.

It all looks charming.

- Thank you.

- Georgina, we always like
to make Christmas a festive

occasion for the servants
as well as ourselves.

So tomorrow evening we shall
be dining out and leaving them

to have their own Christmas
dinner downstairs.

Lady Southwold's sister,
Lady Castleton,

has kindly invited us.

- Poor thing, she's not
very good company nowadays.

Stone deaf, and partially blind.

- Nevertheless, it is a
long-standing tradition

in this house to go to
her for Christmas night,

and we must respect it.

- Oh, I understand.

- We shall have our
own Christmas dinner

at lunchtime tomorrow,
after which,

Mabel dear, I shall
have to leave you

for a couple of hours to visit

the infirmary hospital
in my constituency.

I'm so sorry.

- My dear boy, you
know perfectly well

that I spend every
afternoon asleep on my bed.

I don't supposed Christmas
day will be any exception.

- At five thirty after
tea, the servants

will come up to the hall
to get their presents.

I would like you to be there.

- Yes, I see.

- But if there's anything
you'd like

to do in the afternoon?

- Oh no, I'll just stay
in and read a book.

- I'll do that, Miss.

- Oh no, it's alright, Rose.

Thank you.

- Have you never had a
maid before, Miss Georgina?

- You mean a lady's maid? No.

- I thought not.

- Why do you ask, Rose?

- Well, if you'll pardon me
saying so, Miss, I could guess.

There are people who
are used to living

with servants and
those that aren't,

and you can always tell.

- Oh?

- Mmmm, it'll all be part
of your growing up, Miss,

if you'll excuse me
saying so, learning that.

- Yes.

- A lady has a maid to
do everything for her

in her bedroom and boudoir,
the maid's proud to do it.

Well, it's her creation,
if you like,

how her mistress looks.

The lady understands
that and respects her

for the work that's done.

Well, she relies on it.

- I understand.

- Not everybody does
understand, Miss.

Some servants, for
instance, well take Daisy.

She's a good girl, but she's
not been long in service.

I don't know whether
you've noticed, Miss,

but she's inclined to
be a bit too familiar.

She means no harm in
it, just that she

hasn't learned how to
conduct herself properly yet.

The point is, Miss, that
we all have a place,

and we've got to keep
to it, it's no use

pretending otherwise, is it?

- I suppose not.

- Miss Elizabeth took
a long time to learn.

She understood in the end.

Daisy needs a bit of help,
that's all, she'll soon learn.

Perhaps you could help, Miss?

Be a bit more distant with her,
help her to know her place.

That's all she needs.

It's for her own good,
you do understand

that, don't you, Miss?

- Yes, of course, Rose.

- I thought you would.

There, well if there's
nothing further

that you require, Miss,
I'll go downstairs.

- Thank you, Rose, good night.

- Good night, Miss Georgina.

- Oh, is it alright to
turn the bed down?

- Ask Miss Georgina.

- Yes, of course it's
alright, Daisy.

I came up to bed early
because Step-Grandmama

and Uncle Richard
were reminiscing,

all a bit sad for Christmas Eve.

Anyway, I'm glad you're
here, I want to talk to you.

- Yes, Miss.

- You know what you told
me about your family?

- I shouldn't have mentioned it.

- Yes you should, and
I've quite decided

that you're going home to
Hoxton tomorrow afternoon.

- No.

-[Georgina] And I'm
coming with you!

- We can't, it wouldn't be
right, Miss, begging your
pardon.

-[Georgina] Well, why not?

- Well, I'm not if they're still

at the old address
in Bridge Street.

They may have moved, you see.

- If they have, someone
will tell us.

I know, we'll take
them some food,

there's masses in the house.

- It's very kind of
you, Miss Georgina, but

- Oh, I insist, there's
no difficulty.

We'll raid the larder
downstairs,

and burst into your parents'
house and surprise them!

- But that would be
stealing, Miss.

- Oh, no one will notice.

We'll take them some
nice Christmas fare,

some turkey, pies, fruit,
all kinds of things!

Perhaps even a bottle of wine.

- They would like
that, it's true.

- Daisy, you've got to
agree, you must, please!

- Alright, Miss, if you say so.

- Tomorrow afternoon, then,
as soon as the house is quiet,

put on your hat and coat and
come up here and find me.

I've looked up Hoxton
on the street map.

There, now we walk to
Hyde Park corner,

and then we get in a tram that
takes us along Oxford Street

(orchestral music)

- All my hard work, and no
one here to appreciate it!

I don't know, they can't
have any appetite at all,

they were just pecking at it!

- Well I shouldn't worry,
Mrs. Bridges,

someone is bound to eat it.

- I'll eat it!

- No you won't, my girl!

That goes straight back
into the larder, that does.

We'll make a nice
pie for later on.

Oh dear, well anyway,
they'll have

plenty of room for my pudding.

- It appears to be the
Christmas pudding, Mrs. Bridges.

- Would you believe, they've
hardly touched that neither!

- Come in.

Oh, there you are!

Anyone see you?

- It's all quiet downstairs, but

- Is anything wrong?

- Well, just are you sure
it's going to be alright?

- It's got to be alright.

Oh cheer up, Daisy,
aren't you looking forward

to seeing you family, the
expression on their faces?

- Yes, Miss.

- Well come on then!

- Daisy!

- Shhh!

- We haven't got anything
to put the food in.

-[Daisy] I brought that
from the pantry.

Quick hide!

- Mrs. Bridges?

(humming)

(sighing)

- That was close!

- Has he gone?

- Yes, come on, before
he gets back!

Where's the larder?

- Over there.

- We'll take this, for a start.

Come on, Daisy, help yourself!

(whistling)

(cat screeching)

- This is it, Miss,
number three.

- Happy Christmas, little boy!

- Must be Tommy, one
of my little brothers.

He was five last
time I come home.

- Do you think you ought
to go in first?

I'll follow you.

(knocking)

- Mum, it's me, Daisy!

- It's not very nice,
Miss, you won't mind?

- Of course not.

- It's me, Daisy, Mum.

We come to wish you
Happy Christmas,

and bring you something nice.

Is it alright to come in?

- I'm Georgina Worsley,
Daisy's friend.

We've brought you some
things for Christmas,

would you like to see?

- Christmas, oh.

- Well, should I wake Dad
up, so he'll know we're here?

- Who's that, where's Dad?

- Died, in the infirmary,
last year.

Lungs give out, buried
out Barking way.

- Oh, who are you?

- I'm Daisy.

- Whatcha doing here?

- We've brought you some
things for Christmas,

there's a goose and

- Get out, get out!

That there's yours.

Anything else?

- Yes, there's pies and

- Who is that man, Mum?

- Bill.

- That's who I am.

- Are you alright, Mum?

- What do you think?

- Is there anything we can do?

I can send someone
to come and help.

There must be something!

- Clear off, don't
want you here!

Just clear out!

- Get back to your work, Daisy,

there ain't nothing you
can do to help us, not now.

- We'd like to wish you a
Happy Christmas, once again,

and hope that

- Well goodbye, Mum.

- Oh Daisy, I never
knew that such,

that people could be so poor.

Oh Daisy, it's awful!

- Don't distress yourself,
Miss Georgina.

- They're starving!

- There's nothing I can do
to help them, not on me own.

We'd best walk quick
back to the tram stop,

come on, it's not a very
nice part of London.

Come on!

-[Mrs. Bridges] You wait
till I lay my hands on her.

- They'll not come back
now, bet you'll learn them!

- Taking that goose,
that beautiful goose

that I took such a lot
of trouble over.

- Shoulda cooked her goose.

- It makes my blood boil!

- Well at least she
didn't take our turkey,

what we've having
tonight, anyhow.

- Shhh, quiet Ruby! All of you!

- She might have told
somebody where she was going,

it's too bad.

- Now I'm sure there's
no need to worry.

- It's snowing now!

Where is that child?

- Now Richard, we can't
keep the servants

waiting any longer!

- You're quite right,
let's go on with the day.

- Ah, there you all are!

- Evening, milady.
- Evening, milady!

- Begging your pardon,
sir, but I'm afraid

Daisy Peel, the new under
house parlor maid is missing.

And some items of food
from the larder, sir.

- What, but how strange?

Miss Georgina has
also not returned.

- They're waiting for
their presents.

- Uh, Mabel, one of the
maids is missing as well.

- Oh, well we must get on
with the present giving.

- Yes well then, you
give them their presents,

I'm going to telephone
the police.

- Oh, alright then, if
that'll make you happy, eh?

Now Hudson.

Ah, I think you'd better
give me each one,

and tell me for whom
it's intended.

- Very good, milady.

My binoculars.

(chuckling)

For Rose milady, from yourself.

Rose.

- Happy Christmas, Rose dear.

- Thank you, milady.

- Aren't you going to open it?

- Oh, thank you milady.

-[Hudson] For Ruby,
milady, from Mr. Bellamy.

- Ruby.
- Ruby.

-[Lady Southwold]
Happy Christmas!

- For Edward, milady, from
Captain and Mrs. James.

- Edward, very happy
to give these to you.

- Thank you, my lady.

-[Lady Southwold]
Now, who's next?

- This appears to
be for me, milady.

Uh, from yourself.

- Happy Christmas, Hudson.

- Well just in case
you should get a report

in of an accident concerning
those two young persons.

What? Daisy Peel, my
under housemaid.

The other one's a visitor
here, Miss Georgina Worsley.

Well, could you check
with station in Hyde Park?

The Serpentine? Yes.

- A very Happy Christmas, and
a happy New Year to you all!

- Thank you very much, milady!
- Happy Christmas to you.

- Thank you.

- If I might take Daisy's
presents downstairs, milady,

for when she returns.

- Of course, thank you, Hudson.

- Milady.

- The police will let
us know any news.

- Mabel, I don't think
we can go out tonight,

with Georgina not back.

- No, I suppose we can't.

You know, it's so unlike
Georgina to behave like this!

- Hudson, will you bring
up a little cold meat

and salad on tray for
Her Ladyship and myself?

Before you start.

- Very good, sir.

- And I do want you to enjoy
your Christmas meal downstairs,

and please take what you
want from the cellar.

- Oh, thank you, sir.

I don't want this business
to spoil your evening.

- Daisy!

Where have you been?

- Miss Georgina!

- If you'd care to come
upstairs, Miss Georgina.

The master asked me to inform
him the moment you returned.

- Oh, I see.

- Come with me.

- Now then, my girl,
what have you

- Got to say for yourself
- You've done wrong, Daisy!

- Where have you been, you
know that you've ruined

the whole house's Christmas,
everything!

- Miss Georgina has
returned, sir.

- Where have you been?

- I'm sorry, it was
all my fault.

- How dare you come
in at this hour,

keeping everyone waiting,
causing all this fuss!

I've had to telephone
the police!

- Richard, the child is
soaking wet and shivering.

Let her go to her room,
there'll be time enough

for explanation when she's
been undressed and put to bed.

- Very well, Georgina,
go up to your room.

- Please let me explain.

- Later, go to your
room, at once.

- Rose, you are not to
interrupt your Christmas dinner.

Miss Georgina must look after
herself until you finish.

- Come on, Daisy, what happened?

- You're a wicked, wicked girl!

You ought to be thrown
out on the street!

Ransacking my larder like that,
taking that beautiful goose,

all my mince pies and
all the jellies!

I don't know

- Alright, Mrs. Bridges,
alright.

Now then, Daisy,
what is all this?

- Then these ruffians stole
Miss Georgina's purse,

so we didn't have any money,
so I said we'd have to walk,

but Miss Georgina thought
but if we told

the tram conductor
what had happened,

then he'd let us
have a free ride.

But when we got to the stop
the last tram had gone,

so we had to walk.

- All the way from Hoxton?

- And halfway along
Newland Road,

these three men chased
us and threw stones at us

and Miss Georgina lost her hat,

and I fell down and
grazed my knee.

And then it started to snow,
it come down ever so hard.

(sobbing)

- There, there there
there, take that bottle.

Don't cry, it's all over now,
it's all over now don't cry.

- Excuse me, sir.

-[Richard] Yes, Hudson.

- Might I have a word
with you, sir?

- Can't it wait until
the morning?

- Well it is rather relevant
to the situation, sir.

- Well go on, Hudson.

- Come on, Daisy, now eat up,
hot dinner'll do you good.

- Come on.

- Before it gets cold.

- That's right.

- Yes, yes, I see.

Thank you, Hudson.

Will you tell Rose to take
Miss Georgina a hot drink?

She better have some
food, as well.

- Yes sir, I'll make
up a tray for her.

- Oh, and Hudson, I don't
want Daisy punished.

She was not to blame in any way.

- Very good, sir.

- Well, my dear, shall
we go up to her?

- Well, Georgina, what
have you to say to us?

- Hudson tells me you've
had a somewhat

unpleasant experience
this evening.

We've had the whole
story from Daisy.

- But I

- But what?

- Told her not to tell
anyone, she promised.

- It was her duty as a
junior servant to give Hudson

her reasons for being
out half the night.

I won't say much about
it now, it's late,

we've all had a very long day.

But you must realize, Georgina,

that you have been
extremely lucky,

it could have been
a great deal worse.

And it was very thoughtless
of you

not to tell anybody where
you were going,

especially to a rough
district like Hoxton.

- Hoxton!

- I'm sorry, I suppose
I really didn't think.

- No, you didn't think,
if you had you would

have realized that you
were being very unfair,

persuading a maidservant
to steal

from her employer's larder.

- But she didn't steal
it, I took it!

- Oh, whoever took it!

You must understand,
child, that in this life

you cannot do just what
you think is right,

regardless of everybody else.

You must learn to
consider others.

- I'm sure her motives
were honest, Mabel,

and compassionate.

- I wonder, how much were really
thinking of Daisy's family?

Wasn't it, perhaps, the
adventure that interested you?

- I'm sure she wasn't
thinking of herself.

- Not consciously
perhaps, Richard,

but it's not far from the
truth, is it Georgina?

- I wanted to help
them, that's all.

- You almost ruined the
servant's Christmas,

kept them waiting for
their presents,

caused your uncle and
myself and the police

a great deal of anxiety by
your thoughtless behavior.

But what you did was
prompted by a kind heart,

and concern for those less
fortunate than yourself,

so you may kiss your Grandmama.

And accept this with
my very loving wishes.

- Oh Granny, thank you!

Oh, thank you!

- Yes Rose, what is it?

- It's the hot posset
for Miss Georgina, sir.

-[Georgina] Thank you, Rose.

- Mrs. Bridges said to be sure
to drink it whilst it's hot.

- Well, I must go to my
room, I'm getting tired.

Will you help me, Rose?

And take care of that necklace,

it's been in the family
for four generations.

- Well I don't think we need
to say anymore, my dear.

I'm sure your experience
has taught you a lot.

So let's forget about
it, shall we?

I just think it would
be a good idea

if you left Daisy
alone for a bit.

Let her take her place
with the other servants

and settle down, make friends.

You want her to feel
this is her home now.

Because I want you
to try and feel

this is your home,
too, Georgina,

that you're one of the family
now, that you belong here.

- Oh yes, please!

theme music)
